Ground Crew M.I.A.

As the title states, Ground Crew Missing In Airport.

 

I made a mission where we were supposed to start with an empty payload, land on an airstrip for refuel and arming (storyline not important here), but try as we might, we couldn't reach ground crew. We had the radio on INT & correct frequency and the plane was standing in where they usually start and everything was supposed to be as it is. Alas, nothing. It was like we had landed on the same airport as in The Langoliers.

 

However on the next attempt, suddenly they were there and we got our juice and firecrackers. What we did differently, I have absolutely no idea.

 

My wish: Make it more clear where to park the plane to reach ground crew if it is that precise. e.g. some (optional) message that states 'Ground crew available if you park here.'.

 

Thank you.

 

PS. I don't have a track to post, and this was most likely TPEBTCAC*-issue, but still it would be a nice feature.

You must have a vehicle of your faction on the airfield at start to make the field yours, neutral fields will not rearm or refuel you.

 

At least, that's how I remember it.

That would explain a lot, can anyone confirm this?
